Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 906 - 907 Speak with Strength (Second Update!)
"To Battle God Mountain?"
Sun Wukong looked at Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and then at Divine General Yuan Long, scratching his head, "So, why would the Ape Emperor suddenly want me to go to Battle God Mountain?"
Having already broken through, there was no need to stay at the Heavenly Soldier Platform any longer. After stepping out, Sun Wukong ran into Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Divine General Yuan Long coming his way. Upon learning that Divine General Yuan Long was ordered by the Battle God Monkey Emperor to bring him back to Battle God Mountain, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
His identity as a member of the Battle God Ape Clan was fake; others might not know, but wouldn’t the Ape Emperor of the Battle God Ape Clan know? Why suddenly have Divine General Yuan Long bring him back to Battle God Mountain? What is the Ape Emperor planning?
Could it be that they intend to hold him accountable for impersonating a member of the Battle God Ape Clan?
"I, old Sun, have never claimed to be a member of the Battle God Ape Clan, and the Daoist Ancestor can testify to that!"
Sun Wukong’s statement made Divine General Yuan Long chuckle, "Sun Wukong, it isn’t to hold you accountable that His Majesty the Ape Emperor is sending me to bring you back to Battle God Mountain, but to have you receive an inheritance!"
"Receive an inheritance? What do you mean? Do you all think I am part of the Battle God Ape Clan?"
Sun Wukong was stunned. Could even the Ape Emperor of the Battle God Ape Clan be mistaken? He came from the Three Realms, was nurtured from the Heaven-Mending Stone of Goddess Nuwa, and had absolutely no connection to the Battle God Ape Clan!
"It’s not a matter of belief! You are inherently one of our Battle God Ape Clan!"
Divine General Yuan Long affirmed, "Our Battle God Ape Clan values not bloodline but combat power. As a member of the Monkey Tribe, your combat power and bloodline strength have reached the standard to become a clan member of the Battle God Ape Clan. Hence, you naturally are one of our clan’s members and are qualified to receive our inheritance!"
"There is such a way to define membership?"
Sun Wukong was taken aback.
"Of course! Our Battle God Ape Clan is unlike other races; we prioritize strength. No matter how strong the bloodline, if the descendants fail to live up to it, it will eventually thin and fade. If one wants to become a royal family member of our clan, then let strength speak for itself!"
A shine of admiration glowed on Divine General Yuan Long’s face, "This is the rule set by our Ape Emperor and the main reason our Battle God Ape Clan stands at the peak among Demon Clans!"
"The Battle God Ape Clan sounds impressive!"
Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up. The philosophy where the strong thrive and the weak fall, where everything depends on power, had a great appeal to him.
"So His Majesty the Ape Emperor has declared that you are destined to be part of our Battle God Ape Clan’s royal family. He wants me to ensure that you return to receive the inheritance and to further glorify our Battle God Ape Clan in the future!"
Divine General Yuan Long looked passionately at Sun Wukong, "What do you think? Will you come with me?"
"Now? That’s not possible!"
Sun Wukong shook his head, "I came to this Heavenly Demon City to find the Daoist Ancestor and my Mother; I just found them, and we haven’t had the time to catch up. How can I just leave with you like that?"
"Daoist Ancestor? Mother? Who are they?"
Divine General Yuan Long raised an eyebrow, "Say the word, and I will bring them to the Divine Mountain, offering them a guest of honor treatment!"
"Isn’t it obvious? It’s Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa Mother!"
Sun Wukong pointed at Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa, "Are you sure you want to invite them to Battle God Mountain as well?"
"The Daoist Ancestor and Mother you refer to are Elders Hong Jun and Nuwa?"
Divine General Yuan Long laughed, "That’s easy! I was already planning on inviting the two elders to the Divine Mountain to help with refining the Tribulation Breaking Pill, and they have already agreed to assist. What a coincidence!"
"Refining the Tribulation Breaking Pill?"
Sun Wukong raised his head to look at Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa, "Daoist Ancestor, Mother, can I watch when the time comes? I’d like to learn some alchemy techniques!"
"Of course you can!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor laughed, "Wukong, you possess Chaos Fire, even more proficient than me. Learning alchemy will be twice as effective with half the effort. As long as you wish to learn, I will certainly teach you all I know!"
"Wukong, whatever you wish to learn, as long as I know it, I’ll definitely teach it to you. It’s just alchemy techniques, why fret? However, my alchemy skills were originally imparted by the Daoist Ancestor, and having the Daoist Ancestor personally teach you will yield better results!" freёwebnoѵel.com
Goddess Nuwa also smiled on the side, her gaze toward Sun Wukong filled with motherly kindness.
"Thank you, Daoist Ancestor! Thank you, Mother!"
Sun Wukong was greatly delighted and turned to Divine General Yuan Long, "Since both the Daoist Ancestor and Mother have agreed, I have nothing more to say. Besides, staying in Heavenly Demon City makes me uncomfortable, filled with a rancid stench; it’s better to leave sooner!"
"Alright, alright, without further ado, let’s set off right away!"
Divine General Yuan Long urged. Heavenly Demon City was, after all, within the territory of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan. While Right Envoy Kun Du wasn’t a concern, adding Left Envoy Qian Tian to the mix would be troublesome, not to mention the Domain Saint level Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor. If he emerged and attacked, it would be hard for Yuan Long to protect himself, let alone Sun Wukong!
After a brief preparation, the four set off from Heavenly Demon City, heading toward Battle God Mountain, deep in the northeastern corner of Tiandou Great Forest.
They were no ordinary people, and in less than half a day of riding the wind, they arrived at the outer gates of Battle God Mountain.
"Is this Battle God Mountain? Doesn’t look any different!"
Sun Wukong gazed at the mountain range ahead, blinking in confusion, and turned to Divine General Yuan Long, "Are you sure this is the place? The homeland of the Battle God Ape Clan is in such a run-down spot?"
"Run-down spot? Haha!"
Divine General Yuan Long chuckled, formed a Dharma Decree with his hands, and shot it forward. It seemed to activate some kind of restriction, and after a ripple, the mountain range began to tremble.
Amidst the rumbling, a wide path emerged between the once sealed mountains, and a Divine Peak shimmering with nine-colored light appeared, making Sun Wukong’s eyes widen.
"Moving stars, shifting moons, and altering landscapes are a grand feat! And I didn’t even notice!"
Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Moon Eyes could see through all illusions in the world, but the mountain where the Battle God Ape Clan was located was not hidden by barriers or restrains, rather concealed by surrounding mountains, akin to a small world. If not for Divine General Yuan Long opening the entrance, Sun Wukong would never have guessed a Divine Peak was hidden here!
"Alright, the Divine Mountain will only remain visible briefly. Let’s quickly enter before the entrance closes!"
